Political Abilities: Strategically Exert Your Power

Putting one’s political abilities to use means knowing how to act on an organization’s fundamental principles: power, authority, structures, formal and informal relationships. In this training session, you will learn how to decode influence networks, challenges and power games in order to become an important player in the political world as a municipal manager.

Goals:

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • recognize the players involved: roles, groups, alliances, relationship quality;
